Why do we support the HPD Grappling Team 501(c)(3)?

Proceeds earned through the sale of our merchandise will be used to provide assistance to Houston Police Officers who have been murdered or injured in the line of duty.

The most dangerous aspect of police work is the taking into control or custody of another human being. Taking someone into custody only occurs in the grappling range which further warrants the need for continuous training in this range. We must be able to dictate the range in which violent encounters occur by using effective positional controls and positional escapes. The use of grappling for law enforcement is an international trend due to the fact that many police encounters can be handled by using control techniques without the use of strikes or intermediate weapons.

We train because it's the right thing to do and it's the safest thing to do for everyone involved.

Redefining Alpha 30: David Lopez of The Iron Pigs BJJ Club

David Lopez is the founder and head of the Iron Pigs BJJ Team. This is a club run under the banner of the Houston Police Dept. and is a registered 501(c)(3) which is used to not only fund equipment needed to run recruit classes but also to help out injured and fallen officers families financially.
